Puku Ridge
Named for the elusive Puku antelope
which never strays far from water, this beautiful
camp among the trees overlooks a sweeping expanse
of the fertile Kakumbi dambo (valley). Here, the
living is easy for both visitors and wildlife.
Puku Ridge Tented Camp is small and intimate,
built unobtrusively close to the wild. Each of
the six comfortably furnished safari tents has
its own lavish bathroom which provides the option
of taking a shower with the sun on your shoulders.
The diverse wildlife along the
dambo offers great opportunities for photography,
whether you choose to explore on foot with a keen-eyed
guide, or range further afield in a safari vehicle.
And in the evenings, you dine with the night sounds
of Africa for a soundtrack. Puku Ridge inhabits
a remote world of its own, watching the ancient
patterns of life and survival while treating its
visitors to enjoyably civilised hospitality.
